Bikaner Holiday Packages

Planning your holiday packages to Rajasthan? Make sure to include Bikaner in your itinerary and spend at least a day in it.

Take the time to visit popular attractions like the Junagarh Fort (which is now a museum), Lalgarh Palace (which is now a heritage hotel) and the Laxmi Niwas Palace (which used to be a royal residential palace). You might also want to go on a camel safari and get to see more of the surrounding desert.
